This Prime Valencia Street Space Will be Taken Over by a San Mateo Ramen Legend
Taishoken, the Japanese shop that pioneered tsukemen ramen, will take over the lease at the former Mau location Ramen at Taishoken. It’s been a few years since Masayasu Sakaguchi’s ramen shop came to the states from Nakano, Japan, making San Mateo the first North American outpost. Now Sakaguchi’s grandson, Yoshihiro Sakagachi, says the Mission District is the next destination for Taishoken’s second U.S. restaurant.
